I didn’t repeat them as if they were true. This is why they were called “gaffes”. This is what the opposition was calling true.

NO YOU ARE WRONG. YOU CANNOT COMMIT A GAFFE IF YOU NEVER MADE THE COMMENT IN QUESTION. Your example was of a comment made by Tina Fey. This is not a Palin Gaffe no matter how you might want to spin the issue. It is a lie. One that has been told as the truth and shame on you for keeping it going.
As you are having a difficult time with the meaning of the word.. I will provide the definition. No where in any definition of Gaffe does the issue of slanderous misquotes exist.
