This was a video of the week by Steadfast Lutherans back on 22 June 2012. It was posted right after the anti-pietist comic featuring President Harrison and McCain was posted on Ichabod. Steadfast-bloggers wanted to explain what Pietists were since they were the main ones featuring anti-pietist parties. I noticed that Harrison stopped attending anti-pietist parties after the comic, but later parties featured the chair Harrison sat in at a previous anti-pietist party. Also, no anti-pietist party was scheduled for the synod convention that I know of, but anti-pietist parties may only have been held at Steadfast conferences:

GJ - The Walther myth hymns CFW as the man who restored Lutheran confessional orthodoxy to American Lutherdom.
Never do they admit that his spiritual guidance came from two domineering, abusive Pietist cell group leaders, not to mention his Pietistic cell group meetings during his one and only degree program - a bachelor's.
The LCMS-WELS anti-Pietist gatherings celebrate tobacco and alcohol, as if their participation makes them more Lutheran. Like their rants in favor of UOJ, it only makes them more Pietistic, since they start with works rather than beliefs. They go home to their cell group ministries and praise bands and congratulate themselves for "witnessing to Pietism."
