A tangental issue, but concerns State Farm. I heard on O'Reilly a few nights back about an ACLU/NAMBLA defense to an "intentional tort" (MURDER) lawsuit also being defended by State Farm Insurance. I've been doing lots of searching, but cannot figure out why State Farm would defend either NAMBLA (because of its involvement with the pedophile murderer)...

Anyone who knows, I'd really like to hear from...

Intentional torts are not covered by any insurance that I know about. Surely NAMBLA does not have insurance through State Farm to cover such things....?!

There was an article about it posted here earlier today. The reason was (IIRC) that they weren’t going to cover one guy because he had been charged(?). Two other guys were going to be covered because some state laws required it, plus it sounded like the kid’s family was suing the guys and the insurer would have to pay out through the liability coverage. So they’re trying to avoid or minimize a claim.

That’s how I remember it.

I don't know the exact details of the NAMBLA case to which you refer, but my general understanding is that the suit charges the NAMBLA scumbags with negligence in the homicide of a child by one of the NAMBLA perverts. In other words, State Farm is not defending the killer for the homicide, but rather they are providing coverage to the NAMBLA officials who encouraged the type of perversion that motivated the killer.
