El Sharko vs. Charlie Crist’s Union Thugs(VIDEO)

by Javier Manjarres

At a local Teamster’s and Plumbers and Pipefitters Union picnic this past weekend in Dover, Florida (yes, there is a Dover), Governor Charlie Crist was on the campaign trail pressing the flesh with local union members, hoping to get pry away votes from Congressman Kendrick Meek’s Big Union backers.  The AFL-CIO has already endorsed Congressman Meek, but Crist is still aggressively courting Meek’s labor voting block. Crist did not deviate from his cliched talking points- yes, it still is  ”all about the people”, and he denied that he met with President Barack Obama in Martha’s Vinyard several weeks ago.

But things got a bit chippy at Crist’s Q&A session with the press, where yours truly, Maha-Sharkie was assaulted and harassed by two of the local Teamster’s thugs-let’s call them Bubba and Cletus. As you will see in the video, Bubba and Cletus bum-rushed El Sharko and the camera, but what wasn’t caught on camera was an innocent young girl who was run over by these thugs as they attempted to shut down El Sharko.  I tried to make Cletus understand that he was embarrassing the Governor, but apparently he did not understand the English that was coming out of my mouth. I do speak several languages, including Spanish, English and Shark-ish, but if im going to stay on the trail with the Crist Campaign, I think I’m going to need to learn how to speak “Deliverance”.

    These guyz should have been tazered! Where the hell was the police when you need them? How many times I told you to go 220 (volts) dude?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  3. Fl. Independent Voter

    Gov.Crist should of said something when the young girl got ran over by these UNION THUGS! I just lost respect for Governor Crist!

  4. EXPECT charLIE Crist to say anything & use any methods for political gain. He has no scruples…. no morals!

  5. Wow! I knew he was a slick politician – but his not saying anything while his goons roughed up that reporter and her shot… Very bad. Where does he think he is – Chicago?

  6. Crist didn’t need to answer your question, and if he didn’t that would be the end of the story. By these people attacking you, it makes a story. Stupid Charlie…

  7. Crist is a bum and he’s going to lose big. I think Meek will come in second.

  8. he is GUTLESS!! If I were in his shoes ….i would have blasted those two blocking your view with those signs …….because freedom and civility are most important ….

    you are a yellow belly snake ,charlie! Go home !!

  9. It never fails to amaze me how unions all over the world simply behave the same. It reminds me of the role and behavior of the unions in transforming Eastern Europe into a communist block, using the same intimidation and violent tactics as our own home-grown unions in U.S. Just like in communism, the unions here serve as “school of progressivism” for the membership, with the goal of mobilizing member in pursuit of progressive goals and, just as they did in the mid 1930′s here, they will do whatever it takes (legal and especially illegal and unethical) in order to win, especially knowing they now have the blessing of the WH and the DOJ.

  11. Mentioned this in my Florida blog.

    At my other site, I have a resident troll–maybe I could trade you my troll for a thug? LOL. At least we’d have a little variety going.

  12. David Rivera would have been proud!

  13. Do not care much for the St. Pete Times, but felt a little sorry for Adam Smith. Hard to get an interview with those goons around. The more I look at Union people the less I like them. They seem to get their way by intimidation. Too bad most of the public don’t get to see this side of union people.

  14. wow, wat a schmuck… smdh.. =P

  15. I believe I recognize them from the clips of Cathy Castor’s Tampa Town Hall meeting…..they were doing the same kinds of things, but more agressively there.

  16. Be prepared. The union thugs will be out in full force to try to intimidate us as we go to the polls. We have to stand strong. WE have the truth behind us so all they have left is intimidation.

  17. That was my daughter being shoved by those thugs. Believe me if it were on camera, there would be police involved! Charlie has already proven that he is shameless by some of his actions. This is the icing on the cake!

  18. Hey now, I’ve got a good friend named Cletus…

    In all seriousness though, its not like Charlie sent these folks over to block your shot. But by him not encouraging the folks to back off; it really shows a lot of class.

    Let me know if you need to brush up on your Deliverance lingo…

    Holleratcha later, Hoss…
    (Talk to you soon, friend)

  19. F you! You mess with Charlie… You f8ck with the UNION! Bitch!

  20. ummmmmmmmm, while Charlie is out campaigning, who is running the state?
    Kottkamp has said there has been no communication between them since charlie left the party, so I would not guess he is holding the fort down.

    We the people are paying his salary for him to trawl around……….are we the people paying his travel expenses during the campaign also? After the RPOF financial debacle with Greer, I don’t really trust Charlie with my money.
