Sarah Palin Twitter Post: Refuses To Repudiate 'Refudiate'
Should Sarah Palin Repudiate "Refudiate"?
Sarah Palin is refusing to repudiate a Twitter post where she used the unique word "refudiate." In a recent Twitter post Sarah Palin used the word refudiate asking Muslims to pull their support for a proposed mosque near ground zero.
She first used the term on July 14 on Sean Hannity's Fox News show, when she asked Michelle Obama to “refudiate” claims that the Tea Party movement is racist.
On the weekend, the former Alaska governor used the word again in a tweet: "Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate."
Sarah Palin then removed the Twitter post that used the word refudiate but then changed her mind, defending her creative mangling of the English language with this Tweet.
"Refudiate," "misunderestimate," "wee-wee'd up." English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!

Sarah Palin's journey from politics to literature is inspiring.She can coin any word,that would be her biggest contribution to English language.I hope she won't disappont us as she did by mating with McCain.

Dick Cheney.The poor ignorant,with all the attributes of a coward,didn't know the difference between a Ziggurat and a Pyramid.
In a television interview,Cheney said that"pyramids of Iraq were older than the pyramids of Egypt".-Clark,Ramsey and others,War Crimes:A report on United States War crimes against Iraq.
