A word made up by George W. Bush, and then again by Sarah Palin, is used as a combination of Refute and repudiate, and was declared by the Oxford Dictionary to be technically valid in the way she was using it, if only for the fact that neither Refute or Repudiate would actually make sense in that situation.
Muslim: Hey guys, lets build a mosque near Ground Zero
Sarah Palin: peaceful Muslims, please refudiate your call to action.

The esteemed half-term Governor Sarah Palin(R-Pluto) developed this neologism as a means to demonstrate her unparalleled capacity for steadfast denial of fact and truth.
Refudiate comes from the root "repudiate," and when combined Palin's all-american bravado and insistence that she's right even when she's wrong, a new word is added to the national lexicon.
Common "repudiate" meanings:
Refuse to accept or be associated with
Deny the truth or validity of
Palin "refudiate" meanings:
Refuse to accept or be associated with anything that doesn't serve my political agenda.
Deny the truth or validity of ANYTHING at my discretion, ESPECIALLY when it is actually true.
In summary, "refudiate" generally means: to deny and disassociate oneself from the truth at all costs.

I did not quit as Governor, I refudiate that. I was forced out by the gotcha media and the global liberal conspiracy determined to rob of us of our divine right to shoot wolves from helicopters.

v. to reject with denial
A portmanteau of repudiate and refuse, famously coined by conservative commentator, Vice Presidential candidate, and drop-out Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
An earlier instance of the word is found in the June 25, 2010 New York Times article, "When Capitalism Meets Cannabis". Here, journalist David Segal, quoted a legal marijuana seller. The quote demonstrated a common expressive dysfunction among these people, who would neologize in a chronic marijuana haze.
Sarah Palin's innate cognitive disabilities allowed her to independently coin the term on the July 14, 2010 Fox News show, Hannity.
Sarah Palin used the neologism again in a post to her Twitter account on July 18, 2010. After she was educated by her audience, she deleted the offending post and attempted a correction with two more posts containing the words, "refute" and "reject". As way of explanation, she compared herself, as a wordsmith, to Shakespeare and asked readers to celebrate her mistakes.

July 18, 2010: Ground Zero mosque supporters, doesn’t it stab you in the heart as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, (please) refudiate.
July 14, 2010: (The Obamas) could refudiate what it is that (the NAACP) is saying. They could set the record straight.
June 25, 2010: ...interviewing pot sellers is unlike interviewing anyone else... Simple yes-or-no questions yield 10-minute soliloquies. Words are coined on the spot, like “refudiate,” and regular words are used in ways that make sense only in context.

A blend of refuse (or refute) and repudiate. Allegedly coined by Sarah Palin in 2010, but references can be found dating back to at least 1973.
