Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie was a Louisiana-born socialite known for her involvement in torturing and killing slaves. In the FX television show “American Horror Story,” she emerged in the present day after being buried for hundreds of years. The vile racist woman, played by talented actress Kathy Bates, was shocked to learn that “negro” Barack Obama had been elected president of the United States. So, naturally, many viewers decided she’s a perfect fit for the modern-day Tea Party:

Lord… She's a tea-party republi…. #AHSCoven #AHS
