Is it ok to push start my car to get it started if it's floode?
The shop that's fixing my fender flooded my car. They called and said they got it to start once but after that, they couldn't get the car to start again. First thing that popped into my my is that it's flooded. I've read so many procedures on how to unflood it and just wanted to know if I can just push start it and pop the clutch?

Yep..you sure can. Works every time 
In fact, I do that when I simply don't feel like dealing w/ unflooding it. It'll smoke like crazy initially, but it'll clear up real quick. After getting the car fully warmed up, take 'er out for a spin, redline a few times, get that junk burned up, and you'll be good to go.
Oh and don't forget to address the problem that caused the flooding in the first place!

yep.
my halfbridge floods all the time, I get lazy and just pull it down the street, makes it much much easier to get started.

If you have spare spark plugs, switch them in. If not, clean and dry the ones you take out before they go back in.
