Refudiate 

When Sarah Palin decides regular English words aren't good enough, she'll just go ahead and make a new one. Here, Refudiate bridges the gap between "refuse" and "repudiate", to mean exactly what she wants it to mean.

Refudiate 

A made-up English word: a combination of two legitimate words; "refute" and "repudiate". This is similar to George W. Bush's use of the word "misunderestimate" several years prior.

Used by Sarah Palin multiple times in print and conversation, she claims her use of "refudiate" is simply her "contributing to the living language" and justifying her ignorance by saying that "Shakespeare liked to coin new words too".

Despite the best efforts of the GOP and Tea Party spin doctors, its clear to everyone who wasn't home-schooled that she's a fucking idiot.
She (Palin) asked Michelle Obama to “refudiate” claims that the Tea Party movement is racist.

refudiate 

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.

refudiate 

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.
