It seems that way, and that is alarming to say the least. The McCain-Feingold Act, supposedly for election finance reform, has clauses in it that open the door for the FEC to impose fines on bloggers who make political posts, from either the Right or the Left.
For more information on this, see what Ed Morrisey at Captain's Quarters has written here, here, here, here, and here. (Boy, when Cap'n Ed grabs on to something, he just won't let go - which is great!)
When I do any more posts that might even seem to be endorsements of a politician, I may have to do the same thing - insert a disclaimer - that the Captain did here, just so I don't get fined by the FEC. This is more than not good - it's outrageous!
Trunk over at Powerline also has some things to say on this issue here.
