too much news radio lately, but at least it teaches me this:
The term "special interest group(s)" is applied to groups of other people for the purpose of portraying oneself as representing something more important, more universal than they.
In American civic life, other uses for the phrase are rare.
When someone uses it, they're being in essence very frank with us about what they aim to do to those people: cut them out; take their clout; get listened to instead of them.
