Historically (in the NYC area at least), progressive was normally a code word used by the Communist party to refer to each other after the late 1940s (and the red scare).  (yes, I have a direct source on this one)

Nowadays, I doubt there is really any difference, frankly.  The "get around" reasoning is actually correct for the time being.
