![Sarah Palin makes up word "refudiate" and compares herself to Shakespeare](http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/large_lightbox/hash/3f/15/3f15c6e1f7c71b362b273ee50b46b876.jpg "Sarah Palin makes up word "refudiate" and compares herself to Shakespeare")
Sunday, during a Twitter message, Sarah Palin made up the word “refudiate” and then when asked about the nonexistent word she compared herself to Shakespeare: "'Refudiate,' 'misunderestimate,' 'wee-wee'd up.' English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!" tweeted Palin.
A few days ago, Palin also used the word during a Fox News report (see the video below), and has since deleted the tweet where she used the refudiate word.
Palin re-tweeted her statement and said: "peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real."
Palin used the word during a Twitter session and said that she was opposing a mosque near the site of the 9/11 attacks in New York City and begged New Yorkers to oppose it as well. For more on that story, click here.
Monday and Tuesday, the word refudiate is making the rounds as the joke of the day.
Poking fun, Palin tweeted and cited George W. Bush’s word "misunderstimate" and Barack Obama’s "wee-wee'd up." See the full statement above.
See the video below for news coverage of this story.
One week ago, Sarah Palin defended the Tea Party against NAACP claims that the organization tolerates racism; Palin took to her Facebook page to make her statement. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) held their annual convention in Kansas City and passed a resolution that asked the Tea Party to get rid of its racist elements. They claim that the Tea Party allows some of their protestors to carry racist signs and by not discouraging it or eliminating it, they are tolerating it. For more on this story, click here.

Love it - half refute, half repudiate - refudiate.
Develop a collective sense of humor, bung holes!
Keep it coming, SP. Half of a politician's charm is in the ability to poke fun at their own blunders. I'm not so sure this wasn't done tongue in cheek. And don't start tossing around the non-Ivy League education. It hasn't stopped the president's endless flood of gaffs.
half gaffe, half laff = gaff? Guess we should love this too.
I'd rather here a new word from Palin than listen to Obama say, "I won't increase your taxes" if elected. Americans soon face the biggest tax increases in U.S. history. You lie.
At least my lovely Sarah knows how many states there are in the Union. Obama said there are 57 states. And nevermind Joe Biden. I think his hairplugs damaged what little brain he has.
First, there is no reason to 'refudiate' any mosque, temple, or church. Why do conservatives hate America and it's values so much?
Second, if one wants to contribute to our civil society, at least an eighth grade level ability to think and speak is required. Do we really want to be a nation led by idiots?
Obama CORPSED the corps and predicted that the Obamacare premiums would fall by as much as 3000%. "Refudiate" does not even come close.
i find her to be just repugnicant.
Quick, turn a Palin negative to an Obama negative!! Yeah, keep it coming SP, you only give us hope your agenda will be REFUDIATED.
She a total idiot!
The difference between Sarah Palin's MANY gaffes and the two by Obama is that he knows he made mistakes. With Sarah, she won't take responsibility for any gaffes: they're either someone else's fault or she claims delusions of grandeur over them. I'll bet Obama will never repeat his two gaffes, showing he learns from his mistakes, but so far Sarah shows no desire to even admit she made a mistake, let alone learn anything from it.
Is that something like palin getting 'dewitchified' by a african witch doctor before her 1/2 gov. tour?
To be an idiot or not to be an idiot, that is never the question for ShakesPalin.
CopGuy says: "At least my lovely Sarah knows how many states there are in the Union"
And at least "your lovely Sarah" (LOL) knows now in what state those Fifth Avenue clothes & shoes boutiques are. For sure!
And we also know that even if she doesn't carry the exact number of states in her lovely, albeit, empty head, she can always check her hand for reference. Seriously! I totally understand now the reason why lovely Sarah couldn't give that pesky Katie Couric the names of newspapers she reads: DUH! Try and see how hard it is to fit the words "National Enquirer" and "Globe" on the palm of your hand! You socialists!
Now that's what I call Stuphonics!
