You have to remember who posted those "cartoons"--You are talking about the Brady campaign--remember? Brady is staffed with the utterly gutless of society-- individuals who want to shove their heads into the sand and pretend that the world is rosy and pretty and everyone is out for your benefit.
I still like the surgery idea. I mean, wouldn't they all like to have one? And don't ya think that those who do have one would like to have it made bigger?
Looks like they got so tired of editing Black skin to look White, that they had to make a cartoon and draw the man White....
Obviously he took it out-of-context from Lysander Spooner. The correct quote andbroader context is below.

...The highwayman takes solely upon himself the responsibility, danger, and crime of his own act. He does not pretend that he has any rightful claim to your money, or that he intends to use it for your own benefit. He does not pretend to be anything but a robber. He has not acquired impudence enough to profess to be merely a "protector," and that he takes men's money against their will, merely to enable him to "protect" those infatuated travellers, who feel perfectly able to protect themselves, or do not appreciate his peculiar system of protection. He is too sensible a man to make such professions as these. Furthermore, having taken your money, he leaves you, as you wish him to do. He does not persist in following you on the road, against your will; assuming to be your rightful "sovereign," on account of the "protection" he affords you. He does not keep "protecting" you, by commanding you to bow down and serve him; by requiring you to do this, and forbidding you to do that; by robbing you of more money as often as he finds it for his interest or pleasure to do so; and by branding you as a rebel, a traitor, and an enemy to your country, and shooting you down without mercy, if you dispute his authority, or resist his demands. He is too much of a gentleman to be guilty of such impostures, and insults, and villanies as these. In short, he does not, in addition to robbing you, attempt to make you either his dupe or his slave...
A tacit understanding between A, B, and C, that they will, by ballot, depute D as their agent, to deprive me of my property, liberty, or life, cannot at all authorize D to do so. He is none the less a robber, tyrant, and murderer, because he claims to act as their agent,than he would be if he avowedly acted on his own responsibility alone.
