controversy; Decker interview

An interesting interview.I hope you realize that we have never called Mr.Decker an anti-Semite nor have we suggested or implied that a proper response to his, as he puts it, vile language, are threats or boycott. However every community and individual have the right to call such an article disgusting and inaccurate since it belittles and insults an entire community which is more sophisticated and nuanced than he suggests. Given his comments one might come to the conclusion that he throws a metaphorical "bomb" at something he doesn't like and then sits back to watch. What type of interaction does he expect from those he so easily stereotypes and reviles? Nevertheless you do a service to the community by printing his comments.
