Liberals are always saying that it’s “racist” whenever Republicans want to require voters to show photo ID.
However, as I show below, there are plenty of examples where liberals themselves require “racist” photo ID.
And now I have the newest example: for every performance of the play “Hamilton” at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre from now until December 30, 2017, 40 tickets will be sold for a special low price of $10 each. To get these tickets, you have to apply online. A lottery will randomly choose 40 winners for each performance. Winners will have to show photo ID when they show up to see the play.
These liberals require photo ID?
But how many times have liberals said that requiring photo ID is “racist”?
So this is just the newest example of liberal hypocrisy when it comes to requiring “racist” photo ID.
Here are some previous examples.
Former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee recently announced that he wants to be the Democrats’ 2016 presidential candidate.
In July 2011, Governor Chafee signed a bill that requires voters to show photo ID.
In March 2012, Obama’s Justice Department blocked Texas’s voter ID requirement, claiming that it was “racist.”
However, the very same Justice Department requires photo ID for everyone who enters.
So let’s say that someone is denied their right to vote because they don’t have voter ID, and they want to file a lawsuit at the Justice Department. But because they don’t have photo ID, they can’t get into the Justice Department in the first place!
In this video, beginning at 2:39, we see that Obama’s Justice Department requires photo ID for everyone who enters:

The same video also shows that you need photo ID in order to enter other liberal organizations which claim that requiring voter ID is “racist,” including the Advancement Project (at 1:38), the Center for American Progress (2:08), and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (2:23).
At a July 2012 NAACP event, NAACP President Ben Jealous claimed that requiring voter ID was “racist.” However, at that very same event, the NAACP required photo ID in order to get into the event in the first place!
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Britain, India, and South Africa all require photo ID in order to vote, but U.S. liberals don’t consider those countries’ requirements to be “racist.”
In January 2012, Illinois passed a law which requires buyers of drain cleaner to show photo ID, but liberals didn’t accuse this requirement of being “racist.”
In June 2012, Michelle Obama required photo ID in order to attend her book signings, but liberals didn’t accuse her of being “racist.”
In June 2012, Barack Obama required photo ID in order to attend his campaign events, but liberals didn’t accuse him of being “racist.”
This article from Politico includes the following photograph of a labor union that requires photo ID in order for its members to vote, but liberals didn’t accuse this union of being “racist”:
In my opinion, requiring photo ID is never “racist.”
However, I would like liberals to please explain why it is “racist” when conservatives do it, but not “racist” when liberals do it.
Anyway, according to liberals’ own “logic,” Lincoln Chafee is a “racist.” Why would they want him to be president?
According to your Wiki user profile page, linked here

You favor legal RECREATIONAL drug use.
You support “Same Sex Marriage.”
You are “Pro Choice” (meaning you support legalized abortion.)
You support UNIVERSAL health care.
You support (the lunatic) Ron Paul.
(And you proudly state that you voted for Gary Johnson.)
You are totally opposed to the Death Penalty.
(Although you don’t have a problem with legal abortion.)
So why are you posting on FreeRepublic, a site that is opposed in principle to so much that you support?
Excellent point

You see puppy dogs in the clouds.
I see a hypocrite with a blog.
And yet somehow, this person is posting a thread chiding others for hypocrisy.
The irony. It’s so ironic.
You support Universal Health Care? Really? How long have you been a socialist? Even that POS Arte Johnson you wasted your vote on isn’t far enough left to support that crap.
It’s right there on the page *he* generated about himself.
It’s the item about ten lines up from the one where he supports the “Pink Pistols Gay Rights Organization.”
You mean GARY Johnson; Artie Johnson was on Laugh-In.
No, I really meant Arte (no i) Johnson the comedian. When you vote liberaltarian it really doesn’t matter if you vote Arte, Howard or Gary Johnson or Pat Paulsen for that matter.
“Not only was that authentic frontier gibberish ...”
I support letting more people sign up for medicare or medicade. Singapore and Switzerland are pretty conservative and they have universal health care.
Yet they scream about voter registration ID’s. DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO!
Every statement made about you, including your support of (quote)”UNIVERSAL health care”(unquote) was taken from the Wiki user profile that *YOU* created.
Parsing words and trying to backpedal now just aint gonna cut it.
The fact is, it’s YOU who are a hypocrite.
Anyone who opposes the Death Penalty but supports legal abortion is by definition a hypocrite.
In fact worse than plain hypocrisy - it’s grotesque perversity. You would shield the guilty from just retribution for their crimes while condemning the innocent to a grisly death.
Forget all the stuff about your obscene screen name.
*For this reason alone you disgust me.*
And anyone who supports the number of positions you do that directly conflict with FreeRepublic’s stated goals, but persists in using this forum to farm blog hits is a hypocrite.
You are so quick to accuse Liberals of hypocrisy yet so slow to see it in yourself.
You might notice that I pinged a few people to this thread. I figured it was time some of the Pro Life crowd here on FreeRepublic found out what kind of bloggers we have using our forum.
Let’s see how you message of abortion, same sex marriage, recreational drug use and universal health care plays with this audience.

I don’t usually talk about those things in this forum. There are plenty of other areas where I do agree with the general beliefs here. With the possible exception of Nachum, no one here has documented Obama’s illegal and immoral activities better than me.
The great tragedy of Hamilton is that when Monroe wanted to call Hamilton out for insulting him, Aaron Burr went as peacemaker to Hamilton and talked him into issuing an apology. Had he not, it would have been Monroe who killed Hamilton and it would have occurred years before the Burr-Hamilton due — and we wouldn’t have today’s claptrap on Broadway.
Yes, I get it. You are a socialist and proud of it.
Put down the bong, get a job, earn some money, pay some punitive taxes to support the dope-smoking, Medicaid sucking leaches and get back to me.
