A few days ago Sarah Palin caused a quite stir in a couple of ways. One, she came out hard against the Cordoba House, the proposed mosque that radical Islamists want build at Ground Zero in New York City, which you can read about here.
Sarah also created a stir when she asked the peaceful Muslims world wide to “refudiate” this mosque, thus creating a new word. Most people thought little of it, as they knew what she was talking about. Many of us figured she had simply combined a couple of words to create a cool new one. After all, Sarah is very good at coining phrases that become part of the lexicon, see “death panels,” and “Mama Grizzlies” so why not words too. Intelligent people are able to do this a lot.
Anyhow, as usual, the left lost it’s collective mind! “Refudiate” was one of the top searches on Google!!
It’s funny, the left never blinked when Obama talked about visiting “57 states” or talked about “Navy Corpse-men” (over and over and over) or any of the other silly things we chronicled here....

Sounds like a real word to me, but what word did she mean?
I think it’s a great word, and as writer will begin using it regularly. It is clearly a contraction of “rebuke” and “repudiate.” Good work, Sarah. Great minds coin words all the time.
Refute + repudiate = refutiate
IDM, folks.
If Sarah keeps honing this sense of humor and Teflon exterior, she gonna be hugier than Reagan.
If it wasn’t a word before it sure is now.
Whatever these people say, the word “refudiate” is now part of the American lexicon.
I think she is more Lewis Carrol than Shakespere. Jabberwocky is full of words like ‘refudiate’. Very poetic.

I’ll wait until she tells Obama: “There is neither honesty, manhood nor good fellowship in thee.”
Apparently it’s not new and google lists several uses. Sarah is just the first to use it since we got 57 states!
It would have been better if she admitted that she made a grammatical mistake. She meant to say, repudiate. Everyone makes grammatical errors. Honesty is the best policy.
Oh please....
“she gonna be hugier than Reagan.”
she is already HUG ier than Reagan
ooooh, I like that.
Never seen Henry IV.
“hugier”, ha!
Well, I can't compare because I never hugged Reagan, but I wouldn't mind hugging Sarah twice to make up for it.
I think you mean "hughrieser"
hugh + series = "hughries"; therefore, "even more hughries" should be "hughrieser".
Cheers!
I was thinking it was “refute” and “repudiate”...
