I've heard of the term being used in other countries before, with various meanings depending on location. But i hadn't really heard it applied in the US until recently and always with a negative connotation. Up until then i'd just heard regular old "liberal" somehow being used negatively. When used in such a way i have only heard it in republican talking points used by the previous administration and people they paid to push their agenda on television. There was never an explanation when it was used and it was always used as a bash (as "neocon" had been).
