First, as far as I know, we don't really have a domestic terrorism law compared to say a foreign terrorist group. Without really putting one on the books, it's really hard to call a group one. Second, I am not sure what the process is to call one, but I will guarantee you they will be screaming they are being persecuted. We don't really have the willpower to call right-wing groups as terrorists as opposed to say Islamic groups. I have said before that we are sometimes too selective in calling groups terrorist organizations.
