This week, we're covering the story of a true POS who made his name as a hate spewing bigot during the Civil Rights Era. This asshat was involved in nearly every type of segregationist cause in the south at the time, culminating in his run to be governor of Alabama. And then, after a humiliating loss, he disappeared for awhile. And you won't believe the new persona he picked for when he reappeared. Get ready, it's the story of Asa Earl Carter.
