Provide a critical assessment of the following quotation.Discuss rhetorical flourishes and slanting techniques,if any,including otherizing,demonizing,fear or hate mongering,and forstering xenophobia.Some passages may fit more than one category.
"Dear Marriage Supporter,
Since the age of the French Revolution,the phrase "Let them eat cake" has been used as a symbol of out-of-touch,tyrannical elites or aristocracies.The phrase comes from a popular anecdote that a monarch (often identified as Marie Antoinette),when told that the peasants had no bread to eat and were starving,proposed this as the solution:"Let them eat cake."
Well,ironically in our own day the phrase is once again a fitting a symbol of an out-of-touch,tyrannical government:this time in the form of a Colorado Judge who ruled that a baker in Denver must provide wedding cakes to same-sex couples...or else pay the price."
-Brian Brown,President NOM [National Organization of Marriage],
