someone is going to have to explain the specific way in which the FEC could shut down this website (and the thousands of others that host political speech). I just don't see it.

FCC order to the host provider, or the upstream provider. A lot of companies would cave, rather than fight the FCC and perhaps have to deal with regulation of a lot of online activity - such as telephony.
