In early June 2009, Morvai came to international public attention by posting an outspokenly [[antisemitism|antisemitic]], [[conspiracy theories|conspirationist]] and [[sexism|sexist]] message on a hungarian website's forum: "I would be greatly pleased if those who call themselves proud Hungarian Jews played in their leisure with their tiny circumcised dicks, instead of besmirching me. Your kind of people are used to seeing all of our kind of people stand to attention and adjust to you every time you fart. Would you kindly acknowledge this is now OVER. We have raised our head up high and we shall no longer tolerate your kind of terror. We shall take back our country."<ref>http://www.politics.hu/20090605/outrage-over-obscene-antisemitic-internet-post-by-morvai</ref> <ref>http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1090959.html</ref> She had already earlier been noted for smearing people with the accusation of "being [[zionism|zionists]]."<ref>http://hvg.hu/english/20060807petomorvaiun.aspx?s=24h</ref> |
