>According to Brooklynvegan, The Mercury News and Scan the music blog of The Independent Weekly, Johnston started the show with some "jokes" including, "I heard the Jews are having a pajama party... at the concentration camps." This was followed by an awkward silence to which Johnston then added a Nazi salute and a "Heil Hitler."
The only reason he's popular with BV types is because people see him as a freak show, they have no right to be offended or surprised by this.

He's always been a little racist.
(If you listen to his WFMU interview, he randomly starts pretending he's his manager and goes off on a rant how he's "milking Daniel for money" because he (the manager) is a "Jew" and "Jews like money," etc)

>Today at the Convention Center, Austin icon and OG “outsider artist” Daniel Johnston told two jokes before a jam-packed day stage crowd: >1. “I heard they just sentenced a man to the death penalty… for trying to commit suicide.” >2. “I heard the Jews are having a pajama party… at the concentration camp.” >Daniel punctuated the last one, which drew a pretty uncomfortable silence, with a Nazi salute and a screechy “Heil Hitler.”

Daniel was described by some friends and colleagues as racist. His friend Danny Fields, the American journalist who helped him sign to Elektra Records, described him as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Dan, I'm Jewish,' and he was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' He had a definite Nordic Aryan streak, [the belief] that he was physically, spiritually and creatively superior", a view he appears to have continued to maintain throughout his later years. According to Fields, Daniel once attacked a mixed-race woman in a restaurant with a smashed wineglass, saying "I hate black people". During a performance in Berlin, the audience rioted after Daniel performed the German national anthem "Deutschlandlied", including a verse omitted since 1945 for its nationalist associations

Bump.
Levi Hall
no shit thats why I laugh when tumblr girls like him
Wow, I was expecting them to at least try to justify why they believe that.
It's not like he was that anti-semitic. It was just a tasteless joke. I mean, for Christ's sake, this is a bloke that once crashed an airplane because he thought he was Caspar the friendly ghost, he is clearly not capable of entirely understanding his surroundings.
Gavin Garcia
just another mentally ill person being antisemitic.. how I should be surprised?
Ian Collins
That's Nico
Caleb Green
But at the same time have you considered that... everyone likes money? It's just like fried chicken and watermelon.
