Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

They don't admit it on their website or on their  Twitter profile but, as a teeny bit of cybersleuthing revealed, these freshly-hatched Fringe Femmes seem to be straight out of Iggy's office.

They just came out of nowhere this afternoon.

(Hint: Don't put women in a video -- pause at 0:31 --  who also Tweet that their boss is Michael Ignatieff.)

Anyway, they're picking up on the meme my Facebook posse and I have been working on since my column back here, the one that lambasted PM Stephen Harper for referring to the Courts Challenges program, which his government shut down, as being supportive of ''left-wing fringe'' causes like, oh I don't know, women's rights, gay rights, minority rights and even fighting anti-Semitic hate speech.

Read more here and here.

(BTW: Our group is now 3,229 members strong! And the t-shirts are flying out the door!)

All this said, we original ''I am a proud member of that 'left-wing' fringe' group called 'women'" women don't really mind that there's an effort to go viral out there by Liberal Party types.

The more the merrier.

It's just that we kind of hate their electric pink site.

Our t-shirts are nicer, and support a good cause.

Plus their button is not very grammatical.

But ...

We like their video -- although not as much as Pale's.

We approve of the message.

We welcome the reinforcements, especially en francais.

And, whatever it takes, those Harper guys can't get be allowed to win a majority.
