I stopped reading there: "Juan Domingo Perón, the Argentinean dictator". I'm from argentina, and he was not a dictator, but a president elected democratically. The guy obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. (just in case, let me say here that even those who were very opposed to Peron in argentina never called him a "dictator". they would call him fascist but not a dictator) |

In the 1940s, upper-class students were the first to oppose Peronist workers, with the slogan: "No to espadrille dictatorship" (No a la dictadura de las alpargatas).
The Roman Catholic Church's Argentine leaders, whose support of Perón's government had been steadily waning since the advent of the Eva Perón Foundation, were now open antagonists of the man they called "the Dictator." Though much of Argentina's media had, since 1950, been either controlled or monitored by the administration, lurid pieces on "the Dictator's" ongoing relationship with an underage girl, something Perón never denied, filled the gossip pages.[2]

Not saying he was or wasn't a dictator (I have no opinion on the matter), but it looks like at least some of the opposition does describe him as such.
Incidentally, a dictator can be elected democratically.
