Often the label "oxymoron" is used to make a point. To say the following are oxymorons is to attack a particular group:
Compassionate Conservative.
Country Music
Military Intelligence.

two things that cancel each other out logic-wise, are oxymoronic. like holy war. there is nothing holy about war. you say holy war and it makes no sense. live cadavers. that's an oxymoron. hot water heater. if the water is already hot, why do you need the heater? see?
