One could argue that the whole forgiveness thing was a good PR exercise for McCain if you wanted to be cynical and that his personal views are very different. Anyhow, as odd as it might be here are two articles on the incident including one of the original reports in the San Francisco Chronicle from 2000.

McCain made no apologies yesterday.
"I was referring to my prison guards," McCain said, "and I will continue to refer to them in language that might offend some people because of the beating and torture of my friends."
McCain made it clear that his anger extends only toward his captors. As a senator, he was one of the leaders of the postwar effort to normalize U.S. relations with Vietnam.
aha well that's ok then
we still make fun of Krauts too
Well, I refer to the Commie Ho Chi Mihn radicals as "gooks" as well.
Infact, I refer to any Commie w/ squinty eyes, and stading about 4' 9", or there abouts, a "Gook."
Does that make me a racist ??
They call me "White Devils" and "Capitalists"..... Im ok with that.
to that all i have to say is Einstein
have you ever made a thread before, researching and criticizing a republican?
Ok so he refers to people who tortured him and only those? Pffft, he made up with a few of them at least as well.
The man cannot use a keyboard, cannot reach above his head, and suffers chronic pain due to their torture. He also knows what other veterans went through. I respect his actions in all his interactions with Vietnam. Since his captors were not charged with war crimes by their nation there is no recourse but to call them names and belittle them as often as can be.
Back on topic however...
Biden did not get tortured, and still mocks phillipino's and blacks.
Yes actually, I have dissed a number of them.
in fact I campaigned briefly with a group to unelect a certain Republican.
stop this personal attacks... cant we discuss their policies...
I know I have, I bash Pres Bush all the time.
Horrible Fiscal President....almost as bad as Carter and as bad as Clinton.
Katie Couric.....so, Joe, what do you think of the bail out plan.
The Stupidest Man in the Senate, Joe Biden respond that, In 1929, President Roosevelt got on TV and told America that the Govt......bla bla....
Two problems with this Intelligent response.
1. There was no Television in 1929.....so it kinda hard for President Roosevelt to get on TV and tell everyone......ohh.....wait !!!!
The 2nd Problem has arisen:
2. Roosevelt did not become President until 1932......OOOooppppppppsssss
This is the VP nominee, and former Presidential contender for the Democrat Party.
What would have happen if this was Governor Palin who made this statement ??
Lol! Ok, I never said the guy was smart. It's been touted on the news since the convention that Biden is an idiot. 
But that just takes the cake. However, I'm leaning towards letting a moron run the country than a chipmunk face who will keel over and let rabid pitbul take over.
Hmmmm
Well I've heard Flint say some pretty racist stuff (some of it directed at me which was disappointing considering how often I've defended him in the past) though that doesn't mean he's a racist. I can't say Biden is a racist either just because he said some racist comments. Though he is an idiot for saying certain things. That's about it.
The things that he's said doesn't mean he's a bad person, just means he didn't make good judgement or used critical thinking skills because his profession requires him to use his judgement and speech, often at times in front of crowds with a camera and a microphone. From what I've seen from Biden, he's not exactly the best vice presidential candidate but he does offer experience in foreign policy for Obama to take in. I wouldn't say it was presidential greed as avogrado pointed out before. That actually doesn't make any sense. Greed would've been picking up hillary just to secure those female and blue collar voters that he's now lost.
Anyhow, I think McCain and Obama would be better off running things together. I think they compliment each other more than any of the two tickets separately.
