Palin is impicating that there are no peaceful Muslims.
To me it seems that Palin has merely heard the
word "repudiate," never read the word on a page,
and mashes it together with "refuse."
Has that been considered by linguists? Probably
most of these aw-shucks, bumpkin-manqué, hee-haw
locutions arise from speakers who have not read
the word in question, merely heard it.
