palinize

To slander and caricature a working-class female public figure for the noble advancement of liberalism.

First defined by Victor Davis Hanson in an article on National Review Online in reference to the MSM's unfair treatment of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in the 2008 election cycle.

Pretty much the same concept as swift boat.

The liberal blogs had a field day trying to palinize the Republican VP candidate.
