As a manager I can tell you that if someone wants a raise, I want to hear about their performance, not their personal gripe about someone else's paycheck.
That being said, if you go in and ask for a raise based on your own merits, are denied, and feel the need to push the issue further, I would recommend looking for an advertisement wherein they indicate higher pay than what you make. For instance, if they advertise your position on CareerBuilder or in the newspaper and list a pay that is higher than yours, bring that in. You could also consider bringing in a competitor's advertisement to indicate your position's current market value.
Since you have worked there for a year, perhaps you are due for a review during which you may receive a raise. I would recommend waiting until your review (if it is sometime soon) to discuss a raise, but only AFTER the review has been completed and they did not indicate a pay raise.
Best of luck!
