Personally, I like it when people call me stupid or ignorant - always refreshing.
I tend to say something like 'you could be right, but I think it's blah blah blah' or 'I don't think that's right'
It kind of shifts the focus from someone being wrong, to something else as being right. Small difference, but does help avoid hurting peoples feelings, which is important in my view.

Tell them the truth without emotion. Don't say you're wrong, just say the truth.

Be prepared to explain why they are wrong. Usually, though, it doesn't matter how it's done, as most people don't like to hear that they are wrong.

An old friend of mine used to say this
"you may be right, but you're wrong"

The finger. Simple, direct, and it only requires 4 muscles to do (which is even LESS than it takes to smile).

I usually tell them what is correct about their argument, if I can, and then tell them statistics to support my allegations without actually telling them they suck.

Bluntly.
Sometimes the truth hurts...
Never sugarcoat anything.

Just tell them that you can't agree with them, but you can agree to disagree.
