Actually, the answer is
which special interests he takes money from.
Obviously, Kerry is taking money from different special interest groups than other people and his disdain for "special interest" money is directed at groups he (and his supporters) think are not beneficial for the people he represents.
Is labor a special interest group? Is M.A.D.D. a special interest group? What about Exxon?
All of these can be classified as a special interest group, but to claim someone is a hypocrit because he or she accepts money from concerned mothers but doesn't think a particular oil company cares about the best interest of the people or the environment is an attempt to obfuscate the issue that corporate special interest groups are undermining our political process.
