A day doesn't go by where people don't make this stupid comparisions. This goes for both Republicans and Democrats. It's like saying the GOP wants to ban concealed weapons because they didn't allow concealed weapons in the actual convention.

I actually agree with your post. Just posting this link in reference to that line.

well actually. its not a very valid comparision. they arent pushing for any law banning conceal carry. and it is very consitant with the law. its private property, so they can choose what they want to allow are not. if they wanted to ban people from wearing red shirts they could do that. that doesnt mean they want to pass legislation banning red shirts.

but if requiring ID to vote is racist, then it doesnt magically become not racist when it comes to going into a convention. both would be racist.

The charges of racism aren't over just the requiring of the ID, but the motivation behind it.  Since Romney polled like 0% support among African-Americans, there is definitely an interest in keeping away demographic groups which would vote for Obama from the polls and block them from voting.  Racism is the wrong charge.  The right charge is blocking for partisan reasons.
