That prompted the response from a Palin aide that the former Massachusetts governor was having a hard time controlling his people and that comments in violation of Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment could hurt the GOP cause this fall. This is 2010, after all, not 2012.
"Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real," and, "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing."
After deleting the offending tweet, Palin replaced it with another calling on "peaceful New Yorkers" to "refute the Ground Zero mosque plan," which only added to the confusion because it would appear the word she was looking for was "repudiate."
Palin then had another go, this time incorrectly but more conventionally misusing the word refute. "Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real," she wrote.
