It is a typical backhanded Spiegel hit piece, but good for a few laughs. <g> Thanks for posting it. The article concludes that there is still a lot of love for the US, but the content is extremely negative and the emphasis on pop culture, war and excess are trotted out again to build the framework through which the Spiegel describes the US. This is another common theme in the Spiegel, that of the moral superiority of Germany. Note that the spokesman is not suggesting that differences should be respected, but rather making a very sharp judgement. Museum spokesman Hoffmann adds that this continued love despite increased criticism -- or, put differently, hate-the-sin-but-love-the-sinner theme -- "is practically the subject of the exhibit."
