Absolutely! I don’t know how you thought to check that out, but it’s brilliant. It’s amazing how many of the same terms appear in the same order:

Glenn Beck slander site: “social justice organization, low income family ... predatory lending, katrina relief ... minimum wage ... new orleans, urban education, urban schools ... heath care ... political, civil engagement, hurricane katrina ... rebuilding, rebuild america”

Acorn: “social justice organization ... low income family ... predatory lending, katrina relief ... minimum wage ... new orleans, urban education, urban schools ... heath care ... political, civil engagement ... hurricane katrina ... rebuilding ... rebuild america”

Maybe someone should also keep a eye out and see if Keith Olberman uses the same terms on his TV show.
I would not be surprised if Keith Olberman would be in the shadows who is behind all of this crap because he did declare open war on Glen Beck.

As a web developer I will tell you that we routinely snag meta content from previous designs or sites and then strip out the tags we don’t want or replace them.

I would make absolute sense that if this project had many of the same keywords, to just open the html page from acorn and copy and paste it into the new site.

There are two possibilities

1. It’s possible that the people who designed/managed the ACORN website also designed this new website and simply used their code from one site on another to save time. (If you know tags are correct on one site, it’s easier to just cut and paste than have to validate another set of tags from scratch)

2. It’s possible that the person creating this site likes the ACORN site or it an active visitor to the site and simply hit the “view source code”, copied and pasted it into their new work. (For many self-taught designers, web wannabes they have no idea how to write meta tags, so they find a site they like and swipe the code from their pages.)

My guess is that it’s likely #2. BUT, it obviates the point that this person is a fan of ACORN - and is more than likely an active member or volunteer. So, while this is a good and interesting find, it’s not good evidence of anything other than the meta code was probably lifted from ACORN’s site.
