Evidently Peron was famous for receiving a far-right-winger, and acting like he was listening and agreeing with everything they said. At the end of the conversation he would nod and smile and say something like, 'Yes, yes, you are completely right'

Then he would receive a communist, who would tell him the exact opposite, and Peron would nod, smile and say, "Yes, yes, you are completely right.'

And the way I heard it, Juan Peron was having his politically-ambitious nephew tagging along with him to learn the ropes. The nephew saw him tell you Right-wing "You're absolutely right" in the morning, and tell the Left-wing "You're absolutely right" in the afternoon. Then Tio Juan asked him is opinion.

"Tio Juan, This is totally unacceptable!" he emoted. "You agree with diametrically opposed positions, you pretend you're on everybody's side. This is so wrong!"

And Tio Juan nodded sagely and replied, "You're absolutely right."
