Bring them on, but here’s a twist - extra zinger points if you can find one actually in use on the web. This thread was inspired by one I just now saw:
Any more?
I’ve always thought miracle of nature was an oxymoron. Miracles are, by definition, things that can’t happen naturally, right?
I know this isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, but it came to mind…
On Hostess fruit pie wrappers it says:
Sublight - I had never thought of that before, but I agree with you.
MSK - LOL, that’s perfect!
On a box of snack bars: Soft and Chewy Peanut Crunch. Eh?
Spontaneous Evolution.
Rap Artist…and it’s all over the web too.
I grabbed my Chambers to ascertain the etymology of the word oxymoron, and he offers an example which never occured to me–Coldfire!
Oxymoron goes back to 1657, as a point of interest.

‘Repetitive tautology’ is a tautology.
‘Non-repetitive tautology’ is an oxymoron.
Right on, glee!!!
<nitpick>
That’s always been a pet peeve of mine. “Oxymoron” is not synonymous with “contradiction in terms”.
“Rap artist” is a contradiction in terms.
“Parting is such sweet sorrow” is an oxymoron.
</nitpick>
:ducks and runs:
The obvious:
Jumbo shrimp
Military intelligence
Thunderous silence
Dark victory
“Make a left, right here”
Common abnormality
The ethnic:
French Resistance
Not so obvious:
Clicking the START menu to SHUT DOWN
“Sit up” in your chair
<ahem> I think I speak with some authority on the subject 
…but Webster’s speaks with even more:
So what on earth do you mean? As we lawyers like to say,
"You’re making a distinction without a difference."
Chief Justice Rhenquist
Light Rock, Less Talk (typical radio ad)
First, sorry to drag glee into this. Took about three minutes of quiet reflection to realize that post had nothing to do with this.
The distintion between the two is that an oxymoron is {i}pointedly{/i] foolish - two words that appear contradictory on the surface, but that actually make sense upon examination. “Cruel kindness”, as you cited, is a good example. “Rap artist”, on the other hand, makes no sense at any level.
But I realize you intended this as a fun thread, not an English lesson. Sorry for my intrusion - I feel like an idiot.
I’ll leave quietly now.
How about, “Democratic unity”?
“Foreseeable future” has always been my favorite oxymoron.
**IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
SLAVERY IS FREEDOM
WAR IS PEACE**
On the topic of democracy…
I’ve always thought “democratic republic” to be an oxymoron. The democracy was a form of government originated in Greece in which citizens would gather publicly to vote on specific issues. A republic is where officials are elected or appointed to make such decisions for the people. They are clearly incompatible.
True, true, JD.
How about, “Republican leadership”?
