I think O’Reilly had to do this so Beck would forgive the bet.
“I think O’Reilly had to do this so Beck would forgive the bet.”
Sounds plausible to me. Did BOR mention anything about the bet while spewing praise for Beck? It is amazing to see him concede that even he could not have attracted a rally of that size. Can you imagine if BOR had tried the same stunt? His rally and Al Sharpton’s would have been neck-in-neck WRT which one had more participants.
